Anastasi content with another victory

Poland mentor Andrea Anastasi can not believe his team is on top of the standings

Osaka, Japan, November 25, 2011 - Press conferece Japan v Poland.

Poland coach Andrea Anastasi commented after the match: "The most important thing is to get the three points and the victory. Japan played good in the first set. After that we controlled the match. Our blocks and serves were good. We used our jump serve well. Japan has a problem with blocking. They are good in all other areas, but blocking is the problem".

Japan coach Tatsuya Ueta: "They have some of the best players in the world (No. 1 and No. 6). Yesterday our blocks worked well, but not today. When middle blocks come we need to change our tactics. Our receptions were bad - that was the main point of the match".

Poland captain Marcin Mozdzonek: "It is another happy day for our team. It was a difficult game because Japan plays good defense. They could not stop us after the first set because we spiked high and strong".
Poland player Bartosz Kurek: "We are happy we could concentrate and focus on this game after a tough loss yesterday. The beginning wasn't so good today, but all that counts is that we got the three points".

Japan captain Daisuke Usami: "We started very good with our serve and reception. From the second set they both got worse. We needed to be patient and try to turn it around".

Japan player Daisuke Yako: "The first set was good. They got a good pace from the second set. I made a lot of mistakes in digging and serving. They were targeting me for the serves".
